Porto vs Estoril Prediction 9 August 2017
On August 9 2017 at 19:00 in the upcoming regular game of the first matchday of the Portuguese Primeira Liga at the Dragao Stadium the local Porto are playing against Estoril.
The results of Porto in the previous season left some controversial impressions, in fact. They were competing in the international competition in the Champions League and in the national championship and probably didn’t manage to divide their resources in the right way which left them without any trophies at all. Anyway, the fact that they made it to the play-offs of the Champions League is already a good result for the Dragons. As for the Primeira Liga, Porto didn’t manage to stay in the race for the victory competing against Benfica. Last time Porto played their friendly match was on August 2nd when they outplayed Gil Vicente 1:3.
As for Estoril, they are considered to be the middle-peasants of the national elite division. They finished the previous season without any surprises at all. They managed to show rather good results in the national cup as they made it to the semifinal of it. As for the national elite division, Estoril finished the season with 38 points gained in 34 matches which let them take the 10th place in the standings. The preseason campaign was rather good for them as they won three of their four matches in it.
Porto are the absolute favorites of the upcoming game. Estoril only outplayed Porto once in their history and it happened in November 2014. Las time they met was on January 28 when Porto won 1:2. The upcoming game will be a domestic one for Porto and we have no doubt that Porto will try their best at their native Dragao Stadium to impress their fans in the first starting match of the season.
